In a medium-sized bowl, combine the tamari, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and olive oil.
Add the fresh lime juice and honey to the mixture, whisking until the honey is fully dissolved.
Stir in the freshly grated ginger and minced garlic, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
If desired, add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, and mix thoroughly.
Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid for easy storage and shake well before each use.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice for tartness, honey for sweetness, or tamari for saltiness.
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week, and shake well before using as the ingredients may separate.
